133. The Battle of Luoyang (II)

Li Shimin, who had been lying on the sidelines and waiting for the fighters, saw that the Xia army was tired and knew that the fighters had arrived, so he led a thousand light cavalry to the camp of the commander of the Xia army.

At this time, Dou Jiande was discussing with his subordinates in the tent, and suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly went out of the camp to inspect, but saw that a banner with King Qin had rushed into the camp.

The Xia army was in chaos, although some soldiers rose up to resist, but the camp was chaotic, and there was no one to lead, so it could not establish a strong way to resist, and it was quickly collapsed.

Dou Jiande saw that the defeat was unstoppable, so he could only lead the left and right guards to break through, but he was injured in the breakthrough, and the left and right guards were killed and injured in the process of escaping.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned that Dou Jiande was captured, and when Dou Jiande was taken to the palace camp, he immediately rushed over, quietly looked at Dou Jiande, who had his eyes closed and did not say a word, and only said after a while: "Dou Gong, I am conscripting Wang Shichong, I have nothing to do with Dou Gong, why did you cross the border and offend my soldiers?" ”

Among the countless anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande was not only one of the most prominent ones, but also the most praised one for his conduct and reputation, and Li Shimin's impression of him was very good.

In addition, he had caught Li Shimin's aunt and Princess Tong'an and his uncle Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, but he had never humiliated them, and after Gaozu sent envoys to the peace talks, he politely sent them back to Chang'an.

After Li Shimin's words fell, Dou Jiande didn't react for a long time, and just when Li Shimin thought that he wouldn't speak, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Even if I don't come now, there will be a battle between you and me sooner or later." ”

"I only hate that my mental character and resourcefulness are a few points worse, and I can't afford the position of the lord of the world, otherwise, if I heard Ling Jing's words earlier, there would be no disaster today, Li Yuan has your son, it seems that the world can be determined."

Li Shimin didn't answer, looked at him quietly for a while, then turned around and left, before leaving, he ordered the guards to treat him well, not to be humiliated, and to send someone to help him heal his injuries.

In Li Shimin's view, with Dou Jiande's prestige in Hebei, his life must not be lost.

After solving Dou Jiande's department, Li Shimin immediately led his troops to Luoyang, and a few days ago, Li Yuanji had just fought a battle with Wang Shichong.

This battle was insisted on by Li Yuanji, and the Tang army, at the cost of the life of Lu Junge, the commander of the march, won a small victory, killing more than 1,000 enemy soldiers and capturing hundreds of prisoners.

Yuan Yoshimoto was a little complacent about this achievement, but after Li Shimin came back, he scolded him bloody.

In Li Shimin's view, exchanging the lives of one of his marching supervisors and hundreds of generals for such a victory was simply killing 800 enemies and losing thousands of himself, which was a complete defeat.

Yuan Ji was scolded so much that he didn't dare to squeak, but there was a sense of anger and resentment in his heart, he felt that he had obviously won the battle, but he was just a dead marching supervisor, but he was scolded like this, and felt that Li Shimin looked down on himself at all.

Li Shimin didn't care about his mind at all, and after scolding Li Yuanji, he turned around and went to deal with Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong has been besieged for so long, the whole city has not been supplied, and the soldiers and civilians inside have been terrified from the quiet at the beginning, and hundreds of people and soldiers are trying to flee by all means.

Wang Shichong saw that it only took more than a month for Li Shimin to clean up Dou Jiande, and then he was about to launch a full-scale attack on Luoyang City, he was afraid and angry, and when he had nothing to do, he thought of a very ridiculous strategy.

He tied up the eldest grandson Anye, pushed him to the wall, and threatened Li Shimin: "King Qin, this eldest grandson Anye is the brother of your princess, Wang has heard that you and Princess Ling have a deep relationship, I guess you don't want to see him die in my hands because of you, right?" ”

"Oh, eldest grandson Anye, if you want to kill, hurry up, this guy is rebellious and unfilial, as soon as his father died, he expelled his stepmother and younger siblings from the house, I am not good to deal with him personally in view of my identity, if you can help me kill him, I am grateful." Li Shimin looked at Sun Anye, the eldest son on the other party's city wall, across the moat, and said lightly.

The eldest grandson Anye was frightened by his words, and Wang Shichong was shocked and angry, he couldn't wait to immediately draw a knife and slaughter the eldest grandson Anye, but he was worried that after Li Shimin came in, he would also kill himself with a knife, and for this reason, he would have a good name of avenging his uncle.

After repeated considerations, Wang Shichong did not kill the eldest Sun Anye, nor did he continue to resist, but took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.

When Li Shimin entered the city, he glanced lightly at the eldest grandson Anye, who had not yet recovered from the fright, and said: "You should thank Wang Shichong for pushing you to the city, otherwise, with your relationship with him, even if I want to protect you, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you." ”

"You, you're not going to kill me?" The eldest grandson Anye was stunned when he heard this, and asked in a trembling voice.

"If I could, I would have slaughtered you a long time ago, but unfortunately, you are no longer a thing, and you are also the brother of Guanyin and the auxiliary machine, you should be glad that you have a good baby." Li Shimin stared at him with a blank look, and whispered in his ear.

There are many cases of brothers and sisters in the wealthy family falling into each other, but it is really rare to be a bastard like the eldest grandson Anye, who doesn't even care about the basics.

Li Shimin sometimes couldn't understand how a hero like General Changsun Sheng could give birth to something as stupid as Changsun Anye.

And his stepwife's son and daughter Guanyin and auxiliary machines have inherited his excellent bloodline, although the other children are not as outstanding as auxiliary machines and Guanyin, they are not bad, only this eldest grandson Anye is not like coming from the same paternal bloodline.

The eldest grandson Anye naturally didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, he was directly frightened by Li Shimin's words and fell to the ground, even the eldest grandson Wuji behind him came over and stood in front of him for a long time, he didn't notice it.

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, don't look at it, with Wang Shichong's hand, his life is worry-free." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." The eldest grandson Wuji retracted his gaze, walked with him to the city wall of Luoyang City, and was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"Auxiliary, what is the relationship between you and me, how can I thank you, but Wang Shichong is not a thing, in order to defend Luoyang, not only killed hundreds of people in vain, but also destroyed this city." King Qin stood on top of the city wall with his hands in his hands, looking at the devastation under the city wall, and opened his mouth with a gloomy face.

War is cruel, the universal general in the eyes of the world, the pile of white bones under his feet, if he has a choice, he Li Shimin does not like such endless conquest and fighting at all.

Especially watching so many innocent lives continue to fall under their own knives......

Fortunately, after the end of this battle, Li Tangjiangshan will be completely stabilized, and no one in the Central Plains can pose a danger to them, perhaps, the war can be calmed down for a while.....
